This resulted in it not warning you when the site went up/down untill these hidden files were deleted. The fix was to move the .* out of the double qoutes when checking for the hidden files to remove, like so. rm "$STATUS_FILE_PREFIX".* > /dev/null 2>&1 After that it has been working brilliantly, thanks.

How would you tie something like this in with an alert on your ubuntu desktop say? I'm new to bash scripting and I think that would be very cool. Handy!
